Maids ran around the pale room at a secluded end of the castle, doing things very quickly to prepair for when Karita would give birth. She was lying on the bed, thinking, waiting patiently as she watched everyone in the room. One of the maids had the door closed so no one could come into the room, and she was leaning against it. Other maids were carrying blankets for the baby when it came, and others were just there for help and support. Karita sighed, wishing it would happen quickly so she wouldn't have to endure the pain long.

Zuki growled. "Let me through!" He punched the door next to the maid, making the wood splinter and break some. The maid gasped, but shook her head. "She needs her privacy, Zuki. I'm sorry, but it's important for you to-"
"I don't give a damn! Let me by, so I can be with her. I want to see what a woman experience!" Zuki growled. The maid sighed and opened the door to let him in.
Zuki walked in quickly and kneeled next to Karita and looked into her eyes. "Are you okay, love?" He said in a soft tone. He changed from an angry monster to a soft-kinded person. It was odd to see that happen.

Karita nodded.
"I'm fine, Zuki,"
She said, smiling.
"I just want this to be over now."

Zuki only smiled and placed his hand on her stomach. He couldn't belive he was going to see this for his first time. "How does such a baby come out from you?" He asked, almost child-like. "It must hurt." He stood up and walked over where her legs spread open. He looked and blinked. "The baby comes from such a small hole." He reached out to touch it.

One of the maids pushed Zuki away, even if he was the king and was married to Karita. She glared at him, then turned back to getting blankets.
~
Karita had closed her eyes, unaware of anything. She felt something in her change quickly, and her eyes opened, her fingers digging into the bed. Many of the maids rushed to Karita's side, blocking Zuki's view of anything at all. Small sweat beads rolled down her forehead, and she winced in pain.

Zuki stood up and growled and pushed his way an opening. He wanted to watch and he demanded it too. "YOU GET OUT OF MY WAY! I want to see this!" He looked at Karita and was a little worried for her. "Are you sure it's going to be safe?" He asked worriedly as he looked down at where the baby is going to come through.

One of the maids pushed Zuki out of the way again.
"Yes, it's going to be FINE. Now stop interfering, unless you want something to go wrong!"
She whispered, slight anger in her voice.
~
Karita was breathing quickly, her fingers digging deeper and deeper into the bed. She moaned as she tryed to get the baby out of her body, the pain slowly overcoming her.

Zuki growled and walked over to Karita's side. He kneeled down next to her and grabbed hold of her hand. She let her grip as tight as she can. He held onto her and was worried. He has heard of stories that some died of childbirth. He didn't want to loose her. He rubbed her hand with his other hand and stared at her panting face. He didn't say anything, just was staring with worried eyes.

Karita's fingernail's dug into Zuki's palm, and she rose a little. She winced even tighter, and almost screamed of the suddenly increasing pain. And then, she fell against the pillows, breathing heavily, sweat still rolling down her face. Her grip from Zuki's hand released, and her hand fell against the side of the bed. She was still alive, but she felt as if all the energy had suddenly drained from her body. Her face was pale, and her eyes stared into space. Her eyes slowly closed, the last of her energy being used to look at her aby before falling into sleep.
~
The maids were now much quieter, and they carefully handled the small baby girl, wiping the blood off her. They then wrapped her up gently in one of the blankets, putting the others on Karita.

Zuki ignored the nails digging into his palm. He looked and saw the baby with awe. He was suprised on how small the baby was. He wanted to reach out and pick it up. He looked at the maids, then back down at Karita. He brushed his hand on the back of her hand and was scared that she did too much. "Karita... Our baby... Wake up." He looked at the wailing baby and looked at the maids. "Can I... hold the baby?" He never asked the maids so nicely and so softly to them before. He was so much in awe.

The maids looked at each other, and nodded slightly to one another. The maid holding the small child walked over to Zuki.
"Hold her head andher body."
She said, and she then looked at Karita.
"And let Queen Karita sleep. She lost energy giving birth."

Zuki nodded and took hold of the little girl and supported the head carefully. He noticed the skin color a little soft purple, almost like his, only his is darker. Also, her ears was round like her mother's. He smiled. "She has our characteristics." He stood up and kissed softly on the cheek of the baby. He found her very soft and feels fragile. He was so scared that he might break her. He didn't care. He held her closely and bounced her up and down very gently to make her quiet. "She's so beautiful." He said quietly and a lone tear rolled down his eye. "I'm going to take her to her new room. I am going to stay in there for a while. When Karita wakes, please tell me... I... Right now, I have to take care of her." He then stood up and carried the baby slowly out of the room. He smiled and looked at the baby. The baby started to quiet down some. He used his pinky and let the little hands grab onto his finger. They were weak, but he didn't care. He knew the baby was healthy. I will let Karita name the baby. He thought to himself as he entered the babies new room.

A few hours later, Karita slowly opened her eyes lazily, and she slowly pushed herself up. She was sore and she had a headache, but she knew it would go away. She looked around at the maids who had stayed behind to clean up.
"Where's Zuki and my baby?"
She asked weakly, and one of the younger maids left the room to fetch Zuki.

Zuki continued to cradel the baby in his hand and made her body rest on his shoulder. "Your so small. I bet you are going to become beautiful like your mother." He softly spoke to her. He lifted his head as he heard footsteps. He stood up and walked out the door, before the maid could say anything. He knew where to go.
He entered the room and smiled at Karita. "She is so small and delicate. Maybe we can find her school, and educate her to be smart like you. Then we could maybe teach her magic. She would be wonderful. We need her to be smart and ready for anything."

Karita smiled, and nodded the best she could.
"Is she...healthy?"
Karita asked, a worried look quickly passing over her eyes. She didn't want her first child to die, even if she had to die for her.

Zuki nodded and held out the baby to Karita. "Yes she is. She didn't cry much, so I'm assuming she is very strong too. I was pondering... Maybe you should name the baby." He let Karita hold the baby and he kneeled down onto the ground, watching them two. "I'm glad your alright."

Karita carefully took the small child, and held her gently, rocking her.
"Kyrean."
She whispered, smiling.
"Kyrean is her name. Kyrean Jewel Tamaro..."
Karita carfeully moved her fingers against Kyrean's soft, smooth skin, letting the small girl grab onto her finger.

Zuki stared at them. It seemed like he was heading to the right direction. It made him feel good that this was happening. He went over to them and wrapped his arms around her back and held her, looking at the baby. She looked sweet and innocent. He didn't know what to say. All he did was stare at little Kyrean. "Why doesn't she open her eyes?" He asked softly, almost like a wisper.

"She will in about a week. All little infants keep their eyes closed for a while."
Karita said softly, smiling to Zuki.

Zuki nodded. "Then we will have her see the good things when she opens them." He continued staring at the baby, like he has never seen one. "This... Is truly a blessing." He didn't know what else to say. He just looked at Karita, with an unexpressionable face.

Karita nodded.
"She's our little baby girl. We have to make sure she stays safe."
She replied, holding Kyrean gently, rocking her softly.

Zuki smiled and closed his eyes. He was quiet for a while. He then stood up and turned around, facing away from Karita. "I am... going to go out for a walk. I need my space to think clearly and think of the future for her." He then started walking off and dissapeared through the doors.

Karita watched Zuki leave, watching, waiting, wondering what was wrong.

Zuki left the room and headed towards downstairs and to the throne room. He sat down on his throne and rested his back, closing his eyes. He began to cry. Cry with happiness. He didn't want anyone to see him, so he got up and quickly walked off towards the darkness. He huddled into a corner behind a statue, crying. "I didn't know just one thing can make me feel like this." He punched the wall, trying to not feel sad. "I can't handle it. She's too innocent and adorable. I don't know how I can handle it."
He wiped a tear away from his eye. "But I need to raise her. But what? Should I make her a fearsome warrior? Or should she be a scholar, or learn magic from a safe distance? I heard that girls are rumored to be more magical than men." He sighed and thought. He continued thinking for her. He never wanted to change a goal when he set it. He needed some time to figure out what to make her. He knew education was important, so she will be in school. Then he thought of what she should grow up to be. He didn't know. He needed someone that could help him for a child's future.
After a few minutes, Zuki came back into Karita's room and looked at her. "Are you cold?" He asked as he closed the door behind him. He knelt down next to the bed and looked at her, quite seriously. "What should we make the child to grow up as? I'm planning for her future."
